Still Celebrating!

Last year on October 19 (a year ago yesterday) - we heard the AWESOME news that we had an appointment date with the SDA in Ukraine on November 8, 2006. We had waited a long time to hear that news ... for the opportunity to go and be united with the children God had chosen for us!

Wow ... what a difference a year makes! :)

Today we had a super fun family day ... being silly in our room after both girls were awake, baking cinnamon rolls for breakfast, coloring, painting, cutting with scissors (exciting stuff when you're 3!), bike riding on a nearby trail (girls in the Burley), afternoon naps, pizza at home with Grampy, dancing before bedtime ... simply wonderful!!!!

Six Amazing Months!

This past weekend we marveled at the fact that we have had our amazing, beautiful, delightful, exhausting :) little girls for six months!

Their little personalities are so wonderful and they bring so much joy and laughter to our home and lives! We couldn't be anymore thrilled with them if we tried!

Ukraine Bound!!

We just received word on Thursday (October 19) that we have an appointment in Kiev, Ukraine with the Ukrainian State Department of Adoptions on Wednesday, November 8th. We are thrilled!!! This is the news we've been waiting for ... really since the dream of adopting from Ukraine began in January of 2003.

We hope to update this blog during this journey to Ukraine ... so check back often!
